  • Given the history of outside influences on Haiti, I’m not sure how much of this story I buy.

    Could be “violent gangs” torching “civil society” for “their own benefit”.

    Could be “revolutionaries” torching “an oppressive oligarchy” for “the benefit of working people”.

    Both of them would be reported the same way in US, or European newspapers.

    I’m just skeptical when I see “violent gangs” taking over public infrastructure and when one of the “first casualties” of a “bloody uprising” is the Prime Minister who is not in fact dead, just forced to resign and flee the country.


  • Let’s say that the ship is actually sinking, for arguments sake.

    There’s a whole bevy of rats swelling out of those fetid waters, the smart ones jumped ship some time ago, given that there are only two viable options in the United States, where do you suppose that they will go?

    How will that affect composition and policy of those that remain as The SS Trump slips below the murky waters?
